To protect the environment, we are on the way. Here are a few things we can do.
Unwanted gifts? Give them away!
Have you ever received a gift that you didn't like? Did you throw it away? If so, you can have another choice now. Two British companies hopes people will give away their unwanted gifts to them. And they will resell the gifts to raise money for the poor. In this way, the gifts can be refused and have a future life. And people can make a difference to the world.
Wear the trousers that reduce(减少) pollution!
A chemistry scientist and a fashion designer(时装设计师) have created a new kind of trousers. The trousers are made of a new material which can help reduce air pollution around us.

I'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.
The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.
Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy's children. They often sent the children presents.
Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I'm worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We'll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds."
That was six months ago. During this time I've heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she's still living alone and I'm still living in the basement room.
（1）What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?
A . He is a brother of Andrew Carson.
B . He is a close friend of the Carsons.
C . He is a student of Judy Carson.
D . He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons' house.
（2）Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?
A . Because Mr. Morris was dead.
B . Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.
C . Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.
D . Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C
（3）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A . Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.
B . Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.
C . Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.
D . The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.
（4）Why didn't Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter's family?
A . Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in.
B . Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.
C . Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.
D . Because she did not want to leave her own house.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.
Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness. It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn't give up. The little bird asked the spider in surprise. "Why don't you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?"
"Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy." said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it happiness is a will in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.
"I'm happy because I can help others." said the lame duck. So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.
The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn't know the reason. So it asked the little flower, "You're going to die. Why are you still so
happy?" "Because my dream will come true," said the little flower." What is your dream?" "To produce sweet fruit." The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
